The Sun (Al-Shams)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By oath of the sun and its light 1 and by the moon as it follows it; 2 By the day when it glorifieth it. 3 by the night, when it envelops it! 4 And the heaven and Him Who made it, 5 and by the earth and That which extended it! 6 by the soul and Who shaped it 7 then inspired it to understand what was right and wrong for it. 8 He who purifies it will prosper, 9 And he has failed who instills it [with corruption]. 10 The tribe of Thamud denied with rebellion. 11 When among them the great wretch arose, 12 So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she-camel, and (give) her (to) drink. 13 But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them]. 14 and He fears not the issue thereof. 15
